Episode description

If you're a business leader, manager, or ambitious professional, it's essential that you know how to keep yourself and your team in the executive function. Executive function is a set of mental skills that include working memory, flexible thinking, and self-control. We use these skills for strategy, collaboration and creativity.

When you or your team gets knocked out of the executive function by an emotional trigger, (yes, we all have them) you lose time, productivity and money. That's because trouble with executive function can make it hard to focus, follow directions, and handle emotions, among other things.

In this episode, Karin gives you a sneak peek into how she works with individuals, teams and companies to optimize their executive function.
